It rages quiet now here beside you...

In terms of mythology, we had that covered with our Arcadian manifesto, with Albion being our vessel and Arcadia being our destination... I still feel like that now...I think the good ship Albion has become a greater vessel, and there are a lot of people onboard...It’s still strong and, remarkably, we are still together after 20 years, when it really looked like … Well, from my view, I thought everyone would be dead... There wasn’t a hope for us getting this far, and we’re about to celebrate our 20th anniversary...We built the brick-and-mortar embodiment of our dream. It’s had to become more practical...to still have those dreams and to deal with all the normal shit that you have to if you want to live beyond 27...So it’s now about a little bit more than just being on a boat. Maybe it’s about docking and establishing this so-called land, be it or not in Arcadia...Being a bit older and wiser, it’s making something that other people can live in, too, and encouraging people to create and be alive...It’s timeless. It’s human nature to be drawn to the sea chantey. There’s a metaphor for everything you can encounter. From great white whales to sirens to rum, to a lot of rum, to keel-hauling and lashings on the deck....there’s hopelessness and hopefulness. When you’re at sea, it can all end. There’s yearning and longing. But then when you’re there at sea, you romanticize everything in life, on land, in the past and the future.
